I first visited the Greek Islands in 1986. Kefalonia was then as Samos is now: unspoilt, charming, peaceful, rejuvenating. It’s reassuring to know it’s still possible to experience those same precious things on a Greek Island!Turns out it even has a strong historical significance, as the birthplace of the great philosopher Pythagoras (the same guy who enthralled, or bored, us in school maths lessons). Enough though – read the article!

As it turns out its also a great place to invest, but that’s another story…

I’m planning my trip as I write
